About me

He was once described by a High Court Judge as "the most respected of his generation." He was the first ever media spokesman for the Law Society of Scotland; he tutored at Glasgow and Strathclyde Universities; he lectured at Tulliallan Police College for 16 years; he served on the Central Committee of the Law Society of Scotland for some eight years and was the Committee's Vice – Chairman for two. He was legal adviser News and Current Affairs for Scottish Television and the Independent Television Network in Scotland. He had spells as a Temporary Sheriff and as a part – time Chairman of Employment Tribunals. He is now an ambassador for Glasgow Caledonian University.

Throughout his career he was associated with headline cases for household names and people like Paul McCartney, Billy Connolly, David Sole of Starsky and Hutch fame, Tommy Docherty, Jock Wallace and the legendary Jock Stein were among his clients.

In sporting matters he played football for Glasgow University. There was only one reason he did not represent the Scottish Universities - He was not good enough! As a schoolboy once represented Scotland at tennis though he was never asked back. He confines himself now to the golf course and the bowling rinks where he has been outstandingly unsuccessful.
